COMMITTEES ON ORDINANCES.

Parties Heard in Opposition to the
Firing of Cannon Within the City
Limits-Dangerous to Sick Persons
The Rarberss PetitLOn-ShaIl the
shops be Closed ON Sundays9
The committee on ordinances met last even
ing and heard PARTIES interested in proposed
new ordinances. The petition was read for
an ordinance prohibiting the firing of cannon
in the city.
Ex-Councilman Hitler was strongly op-
posed to the firing of cannon or ordnance
within the city limits. He thought the time
had come when an ordinance ought to be
passed prohibiting this nuisance. Especial
ly in the interests of sick people the firing
ought to be put stop to.
Professor Brewer said all the physicians
were opposed to the firing of cannon on the
Green. The friends of some sick people
have thought that death was caused often
times by this operation. DR.. G.. A. Linds-
ley also favored the passing of prohibitory
ordinance.
Attorney Wheeler favored the proposed
new ordinance.
Oliver Coates opposed. He thought to do
away with the firing of cannon on the 4th of
July or on June 18th would be passing law
The committee in executive session voted
to leave the matter entirely to the Court OF
Common Council and recommending that
they have power to grant permits to whom it
shall deem fit. A fine of $50 is inflicted for
all violations.
The petition from several BARRIERS of the
city closing all barber shops on Sunday was
next considered. Mr.. Manning, barber
said that there was no opposition to the pro-
posed measure. He thought it would be g
great relief to the BARRIERS if they could have
Sundays to themselves. They work nearly
every day in the year. the common council OF
Hartford have such law and the bar
| bers of that city were well pleased with the
| law and they suffered no loss in their bust
ness.
Chairman Watrous thought there was 70
provision contained in New Ravens charter
allowing the Common Council to pass such 9
law. He thought Hartford had a special
provision in its charter which gave them the
power to pass such a law.
eff they could get along in Boston and
Hartford I don't see why they can't IN New
Haven" said Mr.. Manning.
Oliver Coates said that it was the unani
| nous sentiment of the BARRIERS union that
the petition ought to pass. In Massachusetts
big cities all the shops close on Sundays. In
Baltimore the shops are all closed on Sun
days. prominent clergyman told him thai
he would subscribe out of his purse in aid Of
the measure. He thought all the clergymer
of the city favored it. He wanted the mat
ter postponed to give an opportunity to be
| heard to BARRIERS who were unable to bs
| present owing to the inelemency of the
weather.
Chairman Watrous said the request would
| be grsnted, and it was tabled until the nex'
meeting.
The committee considered the petition fol
a proposed new ordinance obliging all col
| 1ectors of garbage to first obtain permit
| from the board of health. DR.. G. A. Linds
| ley and Prof. Brewer favored. The matter
was laid over
